Why is it fun?

We have lived here for nearly two years and have been doorbell ditched off and on the whole time. Annoying? Yes. Oh well. Right? It's not like you can catch them in the act very easily. Although, we are pretty sure who it is; we are pretty sure we saw them run home after one espisode. Usually they do it more than once during the evening. Last night was so not cool and takes the cake. They came twice; 11pm and 2am. Yes, I did say 2am. Who does this? Where are their parents? I asked my girlies in YW's several months ago if they doorbell ditch and they said "No WAY!!" and that is more of a prank for 11-12 year-olds. (Which I agree with since the kids I think are doing this are that age.) As a youth I never did this. Never went toliet-papering. So, to me, I just don't get why this is funny. After the 2am episode, I turned on all our porch lights on to send the message that I was up and aware they were around. I even concidered putting a note on my doorbell saying something like this: "Hi. I realize you must be kinda bored, but we are all kinda tired and are trying to sleep. We have a new baby, you see and need our rest. You ringing the doorbell at such late hours wakes us up and freaks our dog out. The house next door is vacant, so maybe you could go over there and doorbell ditch them instead. Thanks! The Rodgers Family." I really hope they don't come around tonight. I might have to get that kid....(was his name Data?) from the movie "Goonies" over here to help me set up some booby traps to catch the little farts.

I know I wouldn't be amused by being woken up at 2am. Good luck with that! The only time I have done stuff like that was for good clean fun, like 12 days of Christmas or asking a boy to a dance. Oh, we did that for YW this month too, but we left cookes and hearts.

I would TOTALLY leave a note saying exactly that. Or get one of those Halloween decorations that are motion triggered to make some spooky sound as they step onto your porch.

Little stinks...
